Dag gone...ya'll think back to when you first started out from High School...think about how hard it was getting ahead (and it still is for lots of us)...but most especially so for younger folk since they have no real skills or experience...Can you imagine going back in time and the government taking practically 50% of everything you make? With this kind of percentage how does one go about obtaining things such as a piece of land, or at least a small 900 square foot, two or three bedroom home with a single bath? Tell me how a person can do this when the government rakes in dang near 50% off the top?
